Taku Glacier Lodge

Juneau has several salmon bakes. Though aimed primarily at tourists, they provide great food (hard to go wrong with fresh salmon) with an experience conveying the flavor of frontier Alaska. Taku Glacier Lodge is reached via a 15-minute floatplane flight up Taku Inlet, and allows you to combine flightseeing, glacier viewing and a salmon bake in one excursion.

The tour lasts three hours and is a little pricey for a salmon dinner, but a much better experience and cheaper than taking a helicopter to the ice field. Sign up at the lodge's booth on Juneau's waterfront, behind Merchant's Wharf.
